I don't know if its true, but some people write so much better than their actual speech patterns. Even schizophrenics. I have my own words for things when I speak. I call my computer "comcrasher" or "error machine" which is a combination of the words, computer and crash. Most everything is called a "hair." This refers to any obstacle, idiot, itchy or something just going wrong. It is called that because I have curly hair and its always in my way. An airplane is called a "safe" because it is much safer than driving. I have other words for things as well. I think this actually is a result of my autism rather than the schizoaffective disorder but it might be both. I sometimes get word salad as well while speaking. Or my sentences don't connect together. It mainly happens while psychotic though and doesn't happen between psychotic breaks. In fact I can speak at autism conferences as long as I am not having an active psychotic break.
